Just use the internal variable

itemView

to refer to the view while making changes

where did the Context.toast() extension move to? it was https://github.com/android/android-ktx/blob/master/src/main/java/androidx/core/widget/Toast.kt when it was on github, but i cant find it in ktx rc02, though it’s still referenced on https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/core/widget/package-summary#toast

Hey guys I just encountered a weird bug(?) when using

Map.forEach

in Android. The reported exception is

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError  com.example.packagename.AdManager$executeQueuedCalls$1

I found the solution on 😒tackoverflow: already, https://stackoverflow.com/a/51215937/7684435 My code looked like this before the fix:

grouped.forEach { type, interactions -> TODO("placeholder") }

, and the kotlin compiler chose the

Map.forEach(BiConsumer<? super K, ? super V> action)

, which uses

java.util.function.BiConsumer

which isn't available on Android < 8 Oreo. Occured with kotlin version 1.2.30, also with 1.2.61, using this gradle config:

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"

I am not sure if this would be considered a bug or not

How do I make this a compile-time error?

What would you use for a greenfield reactive app: LiveData, RxJava or Coroutines? If you would mix them, which layer would you use which?

Hi! Does anyone know how to revoke a permission before a UI test? I use GrantPermissionRule to grant Location permission but once granted it stays granted and I can’t test the case when permission is not granted.

sorry that this is slightly off-topic, but can anyone point me in the direction of a resource like this channel for android development that isn’t kotlin-centric?

What's wrong with my code? The recyclerview is not displaying items.

I just attempted to upgrade my Kotlin Android project to use the "androidx" jetpack libraries rather than the old support libraries, and suddenly all my kotlin-android-extensions synthetic view properties are reporting errors in gradle build:

Unresolved reference. None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch

Anyone have any troubleshooting advice?

Since we are talking about Gson here, I have a different question. My data class has member properties that has default values, e.g.

data class Person(val name: String, val age: Int, val desc: String = "")

When cloud JSON (via Retrofit and Gson) comes back w/ null value for

desc

field, the resultant

Person

instance will have null value for

desc

field, instead of empty string. So the non-null field

desc

can have null value. I searched online for some solutions but they all seem hacky, anyone has any good suggestion?

Thanks Daniele! So just replace Gson w/ Moshi and call it done?

im trying to set up crashlytics in my project. i went through all the intitialization steps. set up a firebase project, as well as a fabric project. linked the projects. when i go to those dashboards it shows 0 crashes. Im trying to trigger a crash like so

Crashlytics.logException(IOException())

Why doesnt this force close the app and why doesnt it show a crash in either console?

The developer docs (https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/android/start/ ) for firebase analytics suggest getting an instance of FirebaseAnalytics in the onCreate() method of an Activity. Is this really the recommended approach or should this be in a Utils class, in the Application class, or somewhere else?

I have added the plugin

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

, but

bundleOf()

doesn’t resolve itself. Is there something else to set up?

Hi there I'm Chester from South Africa in a few months time I'll be presenting at a meetup here in SA, I would just like to ask what functional aspects of Kotlin should I highlight in my talk (The topic is going to be Functional Android)? Thank you

People who have worked with

ViewPager

in combination with `RecyclerView`: did you experience weirdness with the fragment lifecycle displaying your list of items?

Hi there. Is it possible to use Kotlin Delegation in Android Application class?
